Everything is stock and I have not overclocked. Tell me if I need to upgrade video card, ram etc.
 
i would think about a 7800 as well.. and u dont really need a raptor, the performance gain is minimal.. if you're not that hardcore of a gamer, i would get an X2 for just a little more, or scrap teh 3700+ for a 3000 if ur comfortable with overclocking.

Agreed. Don't waste your money on the raptor
 
Is there anyway I am able to trade in my 6800gt for a 7800gt and pay the diff, I dont think bfg would do that but any other places. Its practicaly new. And should I upgrade my ram or psu, I have dual channel but am I able to get another 1gig of ocz gold 2x512mb.

1 more gb of 2x512 will prevent dual channel so you'll probably see a negative performance hit there.

u can got with 4x512 and still be dual channel. it affects the timings, more precisely the command rate changes from 1T to 2T, which is a minimal performace hit(<5%)
 
So you have all this already?

What's it not doing now that you want it to do? Is there a specific game or something that isn't performing well enough for you?
